A shared growth system across 30+ Catholic schools.
The Diocese of Charleston needed a coherent, professional approach to teacher growth that honored both Catholic identity and the craft of teaching — across more than 30 schools, each with its own principal and culture.

Catholic school excellence — structured, supported, coherent.
The challenge
Managing teacher growth across a Diocese means working through principals with different capacities, experience levels, and available time. Without a shared system, feedback quality varied, cycles were inconsistently completed, and it was hard to identify where professional support was most needed.
What 2gnoMe does
2gnoMe provides the Diocese with a single, framework-aligned platform for observations, feedback, self-reflection, and professional learning. Principals guide teachers through a consistent growth cycle — without losing the flexibility to meet each teacher and school where they are. Diocesan leaders gain visibility across all 31 schools in one view.
Result
The Diocese now has a coherent, professional system for teacher growth that principals trust and teachers find respectful. AI-assisted feedback (validated by The Danielson Group) means even principals with packed schedules can write clear, evidence-based narratives that support professional growth — not just compliance.
"2gnoMe has given our schools a coherent, respectful way to support teachers — and our principals a real tool for coaching, not just evaluating. The AI feature only strengthens that."
How the Diocese measures the difference.
The Diocese measures impact the same four ways 2gnoMe does — better practice, time saved, retention, and student outcomes. All four show up in a system of Catholic schools built on mission and quality.
Consistent feedback across 31 schools
With 31 different principals and cultures, consistency in feedback quality is the challenge. 2gnoMe creates the framework-aligned structure that makes strong feedback possible everywhere — not just in schools with the most experienced principals.
Time principals can't afford to lose
Catholic school principals often carry larger administrative loads with smaller support teams. AI-assisted feedback drafts return approximately one hour per teacher on narrative writing — time reinvested in classroom visits, coaching conversations, and mission-driven leadership.
Teachers who feel seen stay
Mission-driven educators choose Catholic schools for more than compensation. When growth feels fair, evidence-based, and respectful — when teachers see a clear path forward — they stay. The Diocese sees lower voluntary turnover in schools with active, consistent growth cycles.
Teaching excellence, school by school
Catholic school families choose these schools for academic excellence and mission alignment. When teachers grow — through consistent observation, honest feedback, and targeted PD — students benefit. Better teaching is the upstream variable that everything else depends on.
Why Catholic schools need something built for systems.
A single school can cobble together tools. A Diocese needs something that works at every level — individual teacher, individual school, and network-wide — without requiring central office to manage every cycle.
Mission alignment
2gnoMe is framework-agnostic — the Diocese can use its own instructional lens alongside or embedded within the growth cycle. Identity doesn't have to be traded for coherence.
Network visibility
Diocesan leaders see participation, completion, and growth patterns across all 31 schools in one view — without having to chase data from individual principals.
Principal capacity building
Not every principal is a trained instructional coach. 2gnoMe's structured cycle — and AI-assisted feedback drafts — levels the field, so every teacher gets quality feedback regardless of their principal's coaching background.
